Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This single malt from Seattle’s Westland Distillery blends two different mashes after maturation. One is a heavily peated mash, while the other is a pale malt mash, and the two combine to create a peaty whisky that doesn’t overpower its more delicate notes. This whisky won Best in Class for craft-distilled whiskies in the 2015 American Distilling Institute awards.
The nose has a good balance of peat smoke, grilled peaches, apples, muted spices, and a touch of apricots. The taste is consistent with peat smoke, grilled peaches, honey, vanilla, and a hint of citrus with good balance. The finish has a smoky touch that builds back up and lingers with notes of lemon zest, vanilla, and brown sugar. A well-balanced excellent whisky. (April, 2015)
